I HAVE a non-independence-believing friend who likes to keep me informed of any stories he hears from his like-minded friends about how much the SNP and Nicola Sturgeon are disliked in rural Aberdeenshire

During a bowls match in Inverurie he was “informed” by two players that a couple of baby boxes had been dumped in the bin.

Now, I don’t know if things are different where our “informed” people live, but we have to put cardboard in the bin. Anything left on the road/pavement beside the bin is left there.

Maybe they are the kind of folk who like a rummage in other folk’s bins. Takes all kinds. Anyway, no thought that maybe the children had outgrown the boxes, perhaps they got wet, could be lots of different reasons.

So incensed were our informants that they wrote to Nicola Sturgeon about it and are still waiting for a reply.

Come on Nicola, stop trying to halt the closure of BiFab, RBS branches, finding beds for old folk who are bed blocking, dealing with this Brexit debacle etc etc, and reply to these two “concerned” Unionists.
